About

Ever wish you could rewind time — at least on your screen? With Rewindy, you can use instant replay to capture moments *after* they happen and save only what matters. 🎯

Keep Rewindy on — and never miss a recording of what just happened. ⏪

✨ How It Works in 3 Simple Steps
1.  Activate: Start Rewindy with one click or press Space. It runs quietly as a background screen recorder.
2.  Do Your Thing: Browse, work, or test as usual — Rewindy keeps a rolling buffer of your past screen activity.
3.  Capture the Past: When something important happens, press Space (or click) to instantly save the last seconds or minutes as a game clip or bug report.

Rewindy is a fast, lightweight chrome screen recorder with an instant replay buffer. As a fully offline recorder, everything stays on your device. 🔒 It's completely free — no ads, no watermarks, and no trials.

🎯 Why Rewindy?
Traditional screen recorders make you hit record before the action — and leave you sorting through long videos later. Rewindy flips the script. It uses a shadow recording technique, continuously buffering your screen so you can save the perfect screen capture after the moment passes. No bloat, no tedious editing.

🔧 Features
- 🖥️ Full-Featured Screen Capture: Record a tab, app window, or your entire screen.
- 🔊 Record with Audio: Capture system sound and microphone audio when available.
- 💸 100% Free Screen Recorder: No ads, no watermarks, no subscriptions.
- ⏪ Instant Replay: Save only the last few moments of activity (default: last 10 minutes).
- 🔁 Loop Recording: Continuously buffers your screen so you can save the last N seconds or minutes on demand.
- ⚙️ Adjustable Buffer: Choose clip length (10s–30m) and how many clips to keep (2–10).
- ⌨️ One‑Click Controls: Use the Space shortcut for quick start/stop.
- 💾 Save Locally: Downloads clips as WebM (VP9/Opus); get a single clip or all at once.
- ⚡️ Lightweight & Efficient: Runs smoothly during long sessions with a clean, responsive UI.

✨ Perfect for QA testing, bug reporting, creating demos and tutorials, capturing gameplay moments, and more.

🔒 Privacy-Focused
- Rewindy does not collect or transmit any data. No analytics, no external servers, no login.

🧩 Format and Compatibility
- 🎞️ WebM (VP9/Opus) — plays in all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari 16+/iOS 16+).
- 🛠️ For other formats like MP4 or to merge clips, free tools like FFmpeg work great.
